SUMMARY:Embodied Writing
DESCRIPTION:Hello all\, \nI’m excited to be offering an Embodied Writing workshop at Tiger Lotus Coop in Montreal for the first time in many years. But this time\, I’ll be integrating a brief Kundalini breathwork & meditation practice. \nABOUT ME: \nI am a lifelong writer of many stripes – I have written poetry since childhood; for years I dabbled in journalism; I have explored worlds of creative nonfiction; I have collaborated with visual artists who seek to add words; I have made a living for 8+ years with copywriting & editing; I am a slowly emerging novelist; I have a shiny little MA in Creative Writing; and I worked on feminist & anti-racist social justice campaigns at the Centre for Gender Advocacy for a period of 6 years – an experience that deeply influenced the way I use words. \nAside from being a writer\, I am also a Kundalini Yoga Teacher in training. I got into Kundalini as a way to heal from trauma and its many lifelong manifestations in my body\, as well as to counteract being a writer who sits in one place too long and forgets to breathe. \n*** \nTruth: writing happens in the body. The more you engage your senses\, the stronger your words are. And whatever emotions you recall from your depths are deeply rooted – on a cellular level. \nGetting out of our heads and into our bodies so that we can write with vital presence has the potential to be an empowering and healing act. Not to mention\, if we choose to write for others to read\, writing from the body helps to create real\, meaningful\, visceral connections. \nOur practice will include a breathing exercise; some light stretches; a short discussion; 3-4 writing prompts designed to interrogate the relationship between body and language; the option to share with the group (or not); and a brief meditation. \nThere will also be tea. 🍵  \nIf you’ve never done breathwork or meditated before\, it really doesn’t matter. This workshop is for anyone open to enhancing and expanding their writing practice – as well as for non-writers simply interested in exploring. \nWhen: Thursday June 6\, 5-7pm\nWhere: 10 Ave. Des Pins Ouest\, room 414\nWhat to bring: your journal & pen (pens & paper will be available.\nCost: $30 \n*To reserve a spot\, please email me: maya@khamalacopy.com \nI look forward to exploring with you! 🙏🏾 ❤️
